​​Angelo D’Alessandro, PhD​, will be honored by receiving the title of National Blood Foundation Scholar next month for completing a study funded by an NBF early-career Scientific Research Grant in 2016.

D’Alessandro’s project used “an integrated metabolomics, proteomics and functional approach to investigate the role of adenosine signaling through the ADORA2B/AMPK axis in mouse and human red blood cells during storage under blood bank conditions.” To conduct this research, D’Alessandro developed “high-throughput omics methods,” which now support research projects involving more than 50 international colleagues.​
